Your best solution, if you have no coding experience for such an endeavor, is to go find a pre-made package. There are tons and many include the roster upload feature, plus they will have things like forums, event calendars and DKP tracking.

Well, I was hoping I could copy and paste a few lines of code into Dreamweaver and take the easy route. Unfortunately, that doesn't look to be the case.
And I appreciate the recommendation, but a pre-built package really isn't something I want to deal with at the moment. Beyond already receiving a very healthy hosting package for next to nothing from a business associate of mine, I dislike some of the limitations that come with using them. On top of that, I put a lot of work into the current site, and the idea of moving everything over to another system, having to adapt the assets and content, doesn't appeal to me.
I may just have to put my nose to the grindstone, use that Lynda.com subscription I pay good money for, and figure out how to do this the right way.
I do appreciate the response, however; thanks for taking the time :) |
